Artistic Stamper Challenge - August 2010

I have only just come across the Artistic Stamper Challenge - yes I know, where have I been? - and thought I'd enter this door hanger/calendar I have made into their current challenge "something old, something new". I have used my new chipboard door hanger and pearls and the old is the metallic butterfly which I've had for ages and ages along with some of the fabric flowers which I bought from our Woolworths before it shut down about 18 months ago.

Well, onto how I made the door hanger. I distressed the chipboard with Tim Holtz's Dusty Concord Distress ink pad for the whole of the hanger and then just added Black Soot to the edges. I have purposely kept the background very faded and vintagy (if that's a word). I then used two different Aspects of Design 58 - Fancy Flourishes stamps around the edge of the hanger, the larger flourish in Dusty Concord and the smaller in Black Soot. I then coloured in my Sweet Pea image with a mixture of Promarkers/Copics, highlighting some areas with Sakura Stardust clear pen. The hanger is then finished off with some lace, calendar pad, lots of flowers (fabric, Dawn Bibby glitter card flowers and some cherry blossom flowers which I coloured with a purple Promarker), fibres, ribbons, charms, epoxy glitter circles and a glittery wire butterfly.

Fantastic card! I love it! Thanks for playing along with the Magical Monday Challenge! We have another fun one this week...Lace! We hope you can play along again.~Laceywww.stampandcreate.comMagical Monday Challenge DT
